Āhea me whakatō anō tō orchid: ngā tohu e tohu ana i te wā tika.

Mō te wā roa, kāore au i te mōhio me pēhea te tautuhi i te wā e tika ana kia whakawhitia te ōkiti ki te kohua hou, me te waiho i ētahi tipu ki te papa kotahi mō te wā roa rawa tae noa ki te wā kua tino kino te raruraru, ā, kua uaua ake te whakatika. Nā te wheako, i ako ahau ki te kite i ngā tohu motuhake e tohu ana i te wā tika, me te karo i te whakawhiti koretake me ngā whakaroa kino.

Ko te papa pirau, te tohu tino kitea kua tae ki te wā ki te whakato hou.

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te papa oneone, ka memeha haere te kiri paina i roto i te wā, ka ngaro te hanganga ka huri hei oneone pai, ka whakararu i te rerenga wai, ka piki ake te tūponotanga o te pirau pakiaka.

Me pēhea te tirotiro i te āhua o te papa oneone, me te kore e hiahiatia kia ringihia rawatia?

Ka āta werohia e au tōku maihao ki te mata o te papa oneone, ka whāwhā mēnā kei te noho tonu he hanganga wetewete, he hau rānei, mēnā rānei kua kikī, kua pakarukaru rānei, he whakamātautau tere tēnei hei āwhina i ahau ki te whakatau mēnā he pai te tirotiro anō me te tango katoa i te oneone.

Ko te puta o ngā pakiaka i te taha o te kohua he tohu kua nui rawa te tipu.

Ina kite ahau i te nui o ngā pakiaka e puta mai ana i te taha, i te kōhao rānei o te kohua, he tohu tēnā kua nui rawa te wāhi e wātea ana i roto i tana ipu, ā, e tohu ana tēnei i te hiahia mō tētahi kohua nui ake hei whakauru i tēnei tipu tonu.

Me pēhea te wehewehe i waenga i te pakiaka ā-rangi noa me te tohu pono o tētahi oko toto iti rawa?

Ahakoa he nui te wāhi i roto i te kohua, ka puta noa mai he pakiaka ā-rangi i ētahi momo, nō reira ka arotakehia anō e au mēnā he āhua koretake te tipu, mēnā rānei kua noho kē te nuinga o te pakiaka ki waho o te papa oneone, he tohu pono ake tēnei kua kore e ranea te wāhi.

Ko te tere rawa o te mimiti o te wai he tohu kei te nui rawa te mimiti.

Ina tika tonu te rerenga o te wai mā roto i te papa, me te kore e mau te makuku i muri i ētahi meneti, tera pea he tohu kua ngaro te kaha o te rauemi ki te pupuri, he tohu kua tae ki te wā me whakakapi katoa.

He haunga kino e puta mai ana i te wharepaku, he tohu e kore rawa e warewaretia e au.

Ko te kakara rerekē, he rite ki te pokepokea ai, ki te pirau rānei, e puta mai ana i te papa o runga, i te pūtake rānei o te tipu, he tohu tēnei mō tētahi raruraru kei te haere tonu, e pā ana ki ngā pakiaka kua pakaru, e hiahia ana kia tirotirohia tonutia, ā, kia whakatikatikaina pea i te wā e taea ai.

Te tipu pōturi, he tohu ā-korekore e whakaarohia ana hoki e au.

Ina mutu te tupu o ngā rau hou, o ngā pakiaka hou rānei o tētahi tipu i tupu tonu i mua, mō te wā roa, me te kore he take kē atu kua whakakorehia, ka whakaarohia e au te mea pea kei te whakawhāitihia tēnei whanaketanga e tumanakohia ana e te oneone tawhito.

Te huringa wā tūturu, he tohutoro e whakamahia ana e au ahakoa kāore he tohu e kitea ana.

Ahakoa kāore he tohu mārama o ngā raruraru, ka tirohia e au ia tipu i ia tau, i ia rua rānei, nā te mea ka pirau haere te papa matū ahakoa kāore he tohu kitea e whakaatu ana i te ngoikore o te rerenga wai katoa.

Me pēhea taku whakamahi i tētahi maramataka māmā hei maumahara ki te wā tika hei tirotiro i ia tipu.

Ka tohua e au ki taku pukatuhi whakatipu, e ai ki tētahi atu tuhinga, te rā tata o te whakato whakamutunga o ia tipu, hei whakamahara ngāwari kia kaua e roa rawa te wā e pahemo ana me te kore e tiakina.

E tohu ana tēnei kāore anō kia hiahiatia te whakatō anō, ā, ka karohia te wawaotanga kore e hiahiatia.

Kei te mau tonu te hanganga o te papa oneone, kei te ora ngā pakiaka i roto i te wāhi e wātea ana, ā, ko te tipu tonu e tohu ana kei te pai te tipu i roto i tana ipu, ā, i tēnei wā, kāore au e pai ki te whakararuraru, nā te mea ka puta he ahotea ka taea te karo i te whakato hou mō te tipu hauora.

He aha ahau ka karo ai i te whakatō anō nā te mea i hiahiatia e tētahi atu tipu o taku kohinga?

He rerekē te tere o te pirau o te oneone me te tupu o te pakiaka o ia tipu, nō reira ka arotakehia e au i mua i te whakatau, kia kore ai e whakamatautauria kia whakatōkia anō te kohinga katoa i te wā kotahi nā te mea kua kite ahau i tētahi tohu mārama i roto i tētahi tipu.

Ko tētahi hapa i mahia e au i mua, ko te tatari roa rawa ki te whakatō anō i tētahi tipu ki te kohua hou.

I waiho e au tētahi Cattleya ki te oneone kotahi mō te tata ki te whā tau, me te kore e aro ki ngā tohu o te pirau haere, tae noa ki te wā i tino pāngia ai te pakiaka i taku tirotirohanga, he whakaroa i hiahia kia nui ake te uaua o te whakaora i tō te mea e tika ana.

Me pēhea taku whakarerekē i taku mahinga o ia rā i muri i taku ako mō tēnei whakaroa.

I tīmata ahau ki te mahi i ngā tirotiro matatau i ia tau, ahakoa kāore he tohu e kitea ana, inā koa ka whakaarohia he tere ake te pirau o ngā momo e mōhio ana ahau, kia kore ai e hoki anō ki te hapa kotahi o te tuku i te wā roa kia pahemo me te kore e tiakina.

Te whakakotahi i tēnei manatoko me te tirotiro auau kua whakamāramahia kētia i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te whakarite i ngā mahi o ia rā, ka whakamahia e au te tirotiro ā-wiki hei aromatawai tere i te āhua o te papa oneone, me te whakauru i tēnei tirotiro ki roto i te tirotiro auau e mahia ana e au mō ia tipu o te kohinga.

He tote kohuke kua kohia, he tohu e whakaarohia ana e au me ētahi atu.

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te Zygopetalum, ko te kitea o tētahi toenga mā i runga i te mata o te papa oneone he tohu pea kei te kohia te tote kohuke mai i te tongi, i te wai kounga iti rānei, he tohu tēnei ka memeha noa iho mā te horoi noa, engari i roto i ngā take roa ake ka whakakaha ake i te hiahia kia whakawhitia katoatia te kohua.

Me pēhea taku mōhio mēnā kei te tika tonu te rahi o te kohua o nāianei mō te tipu?

Haunga te tirotiro i te papa oneone, ka whakaarohia e au mēnā kei te ōrite tonu te rahi o te kohua ki te rahi o te pūnaha pakiaka o nāianei, nā te mea he nui te tipu kua tupu mai i tōna whakawhitinga whakamutunga, tera pea ka whai hua mai i tētahi ipu nui ake, ahakoa kei te pai tonu te āhua o te papa oneone.

Me pēhea te whakatau ko tēhea tipu hei whakatō tuatahi ina he maha e hiahiatia ana i te wā kotahi?

Ina kite ahau he maha ngā tipu o taku kohinga me whakawhiti i te wā kotahi, ka whakaritea tuatahitia e au te mea kua tino kitea ngā tohu, pērā i te haunga kino, te ngoikore rānei o ngā pakiaka, ā, ka waiho mā muri ake te mea e whakaatu ana i tētahi tohu iti noa iho o te pirau o te oneone.

Me pēhea taku tauhohe ina kite ahau i tētahi tohu ranu, he pai tētahi wāhanga, he ngoikore tētahi?

Ina he pai tonu te āhua o te papa oneone i tētahi wāhanga o te kohua, engari kua pirau kē i tētahi atu, he pai ake ki ahau te whakawhiti katoa i te kohua, kaua e whakakapi noa i te wāhanga kua pakaru. Nā te mea he onge te otinga tuturu o te raruraru mēnā ka whakaranua te papa oneone hou me te papa oneone tawhito ki te ipu kotahi.

Ngā pātai kua pātaihia mai ki ahau mō te wā me whakatō anō.

Me huri te kohua i ia wā ka kite ahau i te pakiaka o te rangi e puta mai ana i te kohua?
Kāore pea, nā te mea he pūtake ā-rangi tonu ētahi momo ahakoa he nui te wāhi, nō reira ka arotakehia e au ētahi atu tohu i mua i te whakatau mēnā kua tae ki te wā hei whakawhiti i te ipu.

He mōrearea kei te whakatō anō i ngā wā maha atu i te mea e tika ana?
Ae, mā te nui rawa o te whakato ka puta he ahotea koretake mō te tipu, nō reira ka tūtohu ahau kia whai i ngā tohu tūturu o te matea, kaua e whakararuraru i ngā pakiaka nā te nui rawa o te tūpato me te kore he take pūmau.

Me rite tonu te wā whakato i ngā momo orchid katoa?
Kāo, ko ētahi momo he nui ake te makuku e mau ana i te papa, pērā i te Paphiopedilum, kua whakamāramahia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, me poto ake te wā e hiahiatia ana i ērā momo e whakatipuria ana i roto i te kiri paina pakari ake, ā, ka puhoi ake te pirau.

Nā te ako ki te mōhio ki te wā tika ki te whakawhiti i ngā tipu ki roto i ngā kohua hou, i nui ake ai tōku maia ki te tiaki i taku kohinga, e whakaatu ana ko te aro tonu ki ngā tohu tika ka karo i ngā whakaroa kino me ngā wawaotanga koretake e kino ai te tipu i roto i te wā.
